About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her opening paragraph gives a clear picture of her background and the kinds of issues she addresses.
Terry uses an eclectic mix of approaches. She draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and impulsivity. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are part of her toolkit when practical skills are needed quickly.
In sessions she keeps things interactive and practical. Expect straight talk about steps you can try between meetings. She avoids labels and aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while discussing difficult topics like trauma, grief, or family conflict.
People often seek her out when life changes feel overwhelming. That includes relationship shifts, caregiving strain, blended family issues, or work stress. She also supports goals such as improving communication, handling anger, or building coping skills for anxiety and depression.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Terry frames counseling as collaborative work and discusses options that fit your needs and preferences.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist uses reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting so people lead the direction of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills help with strong emotions, impulsivity, and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Terry will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques that match those needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills, thought work, or a mix of methods over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday routine, shorten check-ins when needed, or use audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help them maintain more consistent appointments while they work on communication, blended household challenges, coping skills, and managing stress.
